and Soldier.
BERLIN, February ga fact at once
recognized in regard to the German
elections is the Triumph of the trinity
Emperor, chancellor and soldier. In
terest in EDglsDd attaches itself only
to two aspects Ct these elections. The
first is the enormous increase of the
socialist vote. In Berlin in 1871 tbs
voie polled was 205S, not much greater
than the number of socialists of Lon
don at this minute. Now it ia "a, 900,
or more than one-f0uTth of the total
vote. At the came time, however,
the socialists have lost several seats,
some of which thew will regain on ths
second ballot. The second aspect,
and the one Of more immediate inter
est, is the attitude OF Alsace and
Lorraine. Prince Hoheulohe warned
the electors there that the re-
turn OF the 90 called protesting
deputies would materially increase the
danger of war. Bismarck distinctly
threatened the provinces with tt lte
OF siege il these men were elected.
Estimsble citizens have beel thrown
into prison, newspapers have been
suppressed, meetings have been dis
persed, and a state resembling terror
ism has been established. Notwith-
standing I'll this the two provinces
have returned a solid phslapx OF anti.
annexationist deputies. This, OF
course, has produced an immense SEN
sation in France. The Natio qdI Gays:
The 2lst OF February is day which
will remain externally engraved on the
heart of France. La Ltberte regards
the Alsatsn vote as "a proud reply to
the comminaiory m neuvers of the

says: These two provinces are sili

GOVERNOR MOONLIGHT
was introduced and spoke briefly but elo-
quently, first paying a glowing tribute to
Col. Ofley and the 18th infantry officers
and soldiers, after which he spoke of
Wyoming Territory, and among other
things said that it was not destined long
to remain as 1t is now, but that the time
was fast coming when in the family of
states Wyoming would be "A welded
sister never to be divorced" He hoped
that the time would speedily come when
there would be mo Cheyenne, no Lara
ME, no Evanston, no Lander, no Buffalo,
no Lusk and no Sundancc-naught but
Wyoming, within which there shall be no
rival communities or towns except in that
matter Of a generous rivalry, having for
its object the common good of the whole
territory"
The governor, who was frequently ap-
plauded, concluded his eloquent speech
with some remarks and ~pleasantries in re.
gard to the barbecue. The exercises at
the capitol were then closed with music
by the Laramie band and ~benediction by
DR.. Rafter.

when my tired mother, who was
